Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a wall socket, specifically a wall socket with safety protection function. Background Technology
[0002] A socket, also known as a power outlet or switch socket, is a receptacle that has one or more electrical connections that can be plugged in. It allows for the insertion of various wires, facilitating connection to other circuits. The connection and disconnection of the circuit is achieved through the interaction between the wires and the copper fittings. With the increasing number of electrical appliances, the use of sockets is becoming more and more frequent.
[0003] A "wall switch" refers to an electrical switch installed on a wall to connect and disconnect circuits. Existing wall switches typically include a junction box, a base, and a socket module. The base is installed inside the wall, and the socket module is fixed to the base. A panel is often added for a more aesthetically pleasing and seamless product replacement. The panel usually has socket holes, and to improve safety and prevent foreign objects from being inserted or falling in, safety shutters are typically installed. Currently, safety shutters are usually located on a pressure plate. During actual assembly, after the safety shutter is assembled, it needs to be snapped upside down onto the base. This can easily cause the spring return mechanism on the safety shutter and the safety shutter itself to shift, posing a certain safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0028] Depend on Figure 1 Combination Figures 2-6 As shown, a wall socket with safety protection function includes a housing 1 and a panel 2, wherein the panel 2 is provided with a socket 21 for inserting a plug; it also includes:
[0029] The insert 3 is located inside the housing 1 and is positioned corresponding to the insertion hole 21;
[0030] A pressure plate 4 is provided on the housing 1, and the pressure plate 4 is provided with a communication hole 41 corresponding to the insertion hole 21;
[0031] The protective component 5 is located above the plug sleeve 3. The protective component 5 is located on the housing 1 and slides with the housing 1. The protective component 5 has a first position when installed and a second position when the plug is inserted and the plug sleeve 3 is exposed.
[0032] An elastic element 6 is disposed on the housing 1. One end of the elastic element 6 abuts against the housing 1, and the other end abuts against the protective element 5. The elastic element 6 has a tendency to drive the protective element 5 towards its first position. The advantages of this invention are that the protective element is disposed on the housing, facilitating its installation and positioning without reversing or reassembling, thus preventing component displacement. This invention also has the advantages of simple structure, convenient assembly, reliable operation, and long service life.
[0033] The socket 21 includes a grounding hole 211, a first hole 212, and a second hole 213; the sleeve 3 includes a grounding sleeve 31, a first sleeve 32, and a second sleeve 33; the protective component 5 is provided with a first protective part 51, a second protective part 52, and a third protective part 53. The first protective part 51 is located below the grounding hole 211 to shield the grounding sleeve 31; the second protective part 52 is located below the first hole 212 to shield the first sleeve 32; and the third protective part 53 is located below the second hole 213 to shield the second sleeve 33. The first protective part 51 is provided with a pushing slope 511 to facilitate the pushing of the plug. The pushing slope facilitates pushing and insertion to achieve circuit conduction. The structure is simple, and the operation is convenient and reliable. In this utility model, the pushing slope is only provided in the first protective part, which enhances safety.
[0034] The horizontal height of the push-up inclined surface 511 is higher than that of the second protective part 52 and / or the third protective part 53. Specifically, the second protective part 52 and / or the third protective part 53 are horizontally arranged, and the upper surface of the second protective part 52 and / or the third protective part 53 is recessed downward to form a groove 54. The horizontal arrangement of the second and third protective parts results in a simple structure and convenient processing. It provides better protection against foreign object insertion, avoids accidental opening, and enhances safety. The groove design prevents water droplets from falling into the sleeve, further improving product safety.
[0035] The housing 1 is provided with baffles 11, and there are two baffles 11. The two baffles 11 form guide holes 12 for the protective component 5 to pass through. This structure provides reliable limiting and guidance for the protective component, is simple in structure, and ensures smooth operation of the protective component.
[0036] The protective component 5 is provided with a shoulder 55. When the protective component 5 is in the first position, the shoulder 55 abuts against the baffle 11 to limit the movement of the protective component 5. The shoulder 55 is located close to the first protective part 51. The shoulder prevents the protective component from moving excessively, and the structure is simple.
[0037] The housing 1 is provided with a support block 133, which is arranged in a strip shape. The protective member 5 is disposed on the support block 133 and slides in cooperation with it. Specifically, the upper surface of the support block 133 is arc-shaped; there are two support blocks 133, and the elastic member 6 is disposed above the middle of the two support blocks 133. This structure facilitates the movement of the protective member, is simple in structure, reduces friction during the movement of the protective member, and ensures reliable operation of the protective member.
[0038] The housing 1 is provided with a mounting post 14, and the protective component 5 is provided with a receiving cavity 56. The opening of the receiving cavity 56 faces the pressure plate 4. The elastic component 6 and the mounting post 14 are both located within the receiving cavity 56. The elastic component 6 and the mounting post 14 abut against each other to reset the protective component 5. This structure facilitates the installation of the elastic component and ensures reliable positioning. The mounting post also serves a positioning function to prevent displacement of the protective component. Specifically, the first protective part (front end) of the protective component is limited by the guide hole (baffle) at the guide hole; the second and third protective parts (rear end) of the protective component are located on both sides of the mounting post. This ensures that the front and rear of the protective component are reliably limited. Combined with the structural characteristics of the protective component, this results in smooth movement, convenient opening, and reliable reset of the protective component.
[0039] The protective component 5 is provided with a connecting portion 57, which is located below the accommodating cavity 56. The connecting portion 57 is arc-shaped and adapted to the outer surface of the elastic component 6. When the protective component 5 is in the second position, the side of the connecting portion 57 abuts against the mounting post 14 to limit the movement of the protective component 5. This structure facilitates the limiting of the protective component's movement and avoids excessive movement.
